The problem: the "going out" shirt

The solution: Any other nice button up.

Many men think they need special "going out" clothing when they hit the clubs and bars.

The truth is that you don't need a special wardrobe apart from your regular one. Instead of a shiny, patterned shirt solely for nighttime wear, choose a plain, high-quality button-down, like this Oxford cloth version from French minimalist label APC ($195).

It's more versatile, and it won't make you look out of place in any environment.
